NON-STOP CHAT MESSENGER

Privacy Policy

In general, we only collect information that allows us to provide you with our best Services. This includes, for example, simple tasks like allowing other users to see the name and picture you choose to show. It also helps us to keep our Services clear of fraud and spam, and it allows us to get a unique understanding of what additional services may be useful to you, and all other purposes set out in this policy below.
Onechat is secured with end-to-end encryption: Onechat calls; one-on-one messages; group messages, media sharing and secondary devices. This means that the encryption keys are stored only on the clients devices and no one, not even OneChat itself, has access to them.

Scope and consent

Before you start sharing, its important you understand that by using our Services, you give us consent to collect, use, disclose, and retain your personal information and other information but we will never read or listen to the content you are sharing privately. You can be sure that we will only use your information as described in this Policy.
By using the Service, you are also agreeing to our Terms of Use. Please, make sure you read and agree with our Terms of Use if you want to use OneChat.

Information we collect

First of all, we want you to be assured that we do not read or listen to the content of your messages and/ or calls made privately via Onechat and we do not store those messages once they have been delivered to their destination (which by average takes less than one second). If for some reason, the message wasnt delivered to its destination within up to 2 weeks, it will be deleted from our servers regardless. We collect the minimum information required to achieve the purposes set out in this Policy (see below), and you have the ability to limit such collection, as specified below under Your Choices:

(a) Registration and Account Information:
When you use our various Services you voluntarily give us personal information (e.g., name, email, birth, date, phone number, and, when necessary, billing information) and you are not anonymous to us.
That means your name and photo (if you choose to provide them) will be visible to other Onechat users. When you install to Onechat App, youll also be asked to allow us access to your mobile devices address book.
A copy of the phone numbers and names of all your contacts (whether theyre Onechat members or not) will be collected and stored on our servers in order for us to be able to enable you and your contacts to connect.
When you join Onechat, the contacts in your address book that are already Onechat members may be informed that youre now on Onechat too.

(b) Social Media Information:
If you sign into your Onechat account through third-party social media sites, you agree to give us on-going access to your personal information on such sites (e.g. your public profile, friend list, accounts, you follow or who follow you, your email address, birthday, work history, education history, interests, current city, and video viewing).
We may receive certain information about you which is stored on social media sites if users of those sites give us access to their profiles and you are of their friends or connections, depending upon your settings on those sites.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Onechat reserves the right of using Cookies and Tracking Technologies in the future.
This will require users prior informed consent for most cookies and similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, Flash cookies, etc.) before the site App/our Website starts to use them.
If we will ever decide on using Cookies and other Tracking Technologies, you should understand the following:
When you visit the App and/or our Website, we and our business partners may use cookies and other tracking technologies for a variety of purposes.
These help to enhance your online experience, for example, by remembering your log-in status and viewing preferences from a previous use of our App when you return later.
If you block cookies and tracking technologies you may not be able to access certain portions of our App.

Here are a few additional important things you should know about our use of tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, HTML-5 stored technologies):

We ask for your prior consent to use cookies and tracking technologies policies when you join the App.

We offer certain features that are available only through the use of tracking technologies.

We use both session and persistent tracking technologies.

Tracking technologies (e.g., cookies) can either be persistent (i.e. they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e. they last only until you close your browser, or until you exit the App.).

You are always free to decline tracking technologies if your browser permits, although doing so may interfere with your use of the App and Website.

We suggest you refer to help section of your browser, browser extensions, or installed applications for instructions on blocking, deleting, or disabling tracking technologies such as cookies.

We encode and protect the tracking technologies that Onechat sets so that only we can interpret the information stored in them.

You may come across tracking technologies/cookies from our third-party service providers that we have allowed on our App to assist us with various aspects of our App operations and services.

You may also encounter tracking technologies from third-parties on certain pages of websites that we do control and have not authorized.
